“The Grand Orchid Guesthouse offers more than just a convenient Durban location near Glenashley Beach and the Gateway Theatre of Shopping. From what I gathered, the rooms are spacious, with full kitchens, offering real independence, and the mattresses are exceptionally comfortable. I think it's the kind of place where you can unwind by the pool or fire up the BBQ, feeling quite at home.”
